Pokegama Dam, also known as Pokegama Reservoir, is a concrete dam located in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, on the Mississippi River. Built in 1884 by the US Army Corps of Engineers, the dam serves primarily for recreation, with additional purposes including flood risk reduction, navigation, and water supply. It has a height of 17 feet and a length of 385 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 120,000 acre-feet and a surface area of 13,000 acres.

Despite being classified as a moderate-risk dam by the US Army Corps of Engineers, Pokegama Dam is continuously monitored and maintained to reduce the risk to the public. A 2019 risk assessment highlighted concerns about potential overtopping during extreme flooding events, with a 1/5000-year chance of exceedance. To address these risks, the Corps is evaluating potential modifications to the dam in 2022, focusing on improving its resilience and safety measures. Overall, the dam's hazard potential is considered significant, but measures are in place to mitigate potential consequences and ensure the safety of the surrounding community and environment.

In addition to the dam itself, the associated dikes are considered low to normal risk, primarily acting as low-height embankments during extreme flood events. The Corps' risk management measures include regular inspections, maintenance, and prioritizing activities to address potential risks. By proactively monitoring and maintaining Pokegama Dam, the Corps aims to ensure its continued functionality and safety for both recreational and flood management purposes.
